Today I want to share with you guys the popular books that I haven't read! I narrowed my list down to 14 books but I definitely had plenty more, as well as who knows how many that I don't actually own so there may be a part 2 at some point in the future!

I decided to try something new for my blog tour stop for the lovely Akemi Dawn Bowman's book Starfish. I thought I'd attempt a reading vlog so you could get my thoughts as they happened rather than a review that consists of "OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK UGHHHH" because you deserve better content than just that!

However, I spend 90% of this vlog hating on Kiko's mum and I also spend a good chunk of time trying to figure out why someone like Kiko's mum was even with a Japanese guy in the first place since she can't stand her kids heritage... I also swear far too much but I'm Scottish and angry because Kiko is so precious and I love her and her damn mother is a hot mess who needs therapy and a good slap.

I'm still mad... can you tell? I'll stop rambling now and leave you guys with my vlog below! Don't forget to check out all the other wonderful bloggers who are taking part in the blog tour and be sure to pick up a copy of this stunning book!

It really doesn't feel like a year ago I was sat in a caravan setting up "booklycat.weebly.com". It's been a crazy year with domain purchases and name changes but it's also been so much fun! From chairing my first event to receiving some amazing ARCs and best of all, sharing my thoughts with everyone who reads I've come a long way in a year.

This blogiversary happens to coincide with my return to booktube and reaching 100 subscribers there so to celebrate I thought I'd give you all a good giggle... I decided to react to my first ever TBR video.

It's been three years since I shared all the books I owned at the time and was yet to read and you'd think with the title "teeny tiny TBR" that it would have been easy to read them all within a year... let me know in the comments how many you think I'll have read - there's 23 books in total!

If you enjoyed the video please be sure to like the video and if you feel like it, leave a comment letting me know if you want to see more reaction videos! Also, to let my blog readers in on a secret - when I hit 1000 subscribers I'll be hosting an INTERNATIONAL giveaway! So be sure to subscribe now to be in with a chance :)

February has flown by and it's already my favourite day of the month: OWLCRATE!! So, it's actually been a few days since I received my box but I'm sharing it now - better late than never! I also have an exciting announcement (for me anyway) below, so keep reading!
